I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Chapter 625 Del Piero takes a corner kick, Pirlo takes the penalty! Jiye scored a goal!
Del Piero is now 36 years old and his peak is long gone.

However, no one dares to deny Piero's status in Juventus, and no one dares to deny Piero's status in Serie A. No one dares to deny that even though Piero is 36 years old, he still cannot be underestimated. .

Del Piero is a legend in the entire football world.

After the legendary star Baggio retired, Del Piero took over Baggio's position and became the new zebra prince.

Del Piero's personal abilities are almost perfect. Whether it is physical attributes, technical attributes, or mental attributes, it is difficult to find such a perfect legendary star in the entire football world.

The only problem holding Piero back is age.

As age increases, the upper limits of Piero's various values ​​are declining.

But it was still enough for him to lead Juventus to the Europa League semi-finals.

There is a term in football called "Pierro Zone". This area is on the left side of the penalty area. The area one step forward from the line of the penalty area is called Del Piero Zone.

As long as Del Piero dribbles the ball into Del Piero's area and there is no defensive interference, then the ball will basically be scored.

In addition, Del Piero also had a shocking free kick. There is a proper term to describe Del Piero's free kick: Turin Rainbow.

So today's game will also be a head-to-head battle between the veteran world legend Piero and Gu Ran.

As for another striker, Iaquinta, he is known as "Little Ibrahimovic". Iaquinta has Ibrahimovic's height, is very fast, and is very confrontational. The center can rush and hit, can hold the ball, and has good shooting skills.

Although Iaquinta is a few years older than Ibrahimovic in terms of age, Iaquinta became famous many years later than Ibrahimovic, so after Ibrahimovic left After Juventus, Iaquinta, who succeeded him, was also called Little Ibrahimovic.

beep!
As the referee blew his whistle, the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals, Southampton's home game against the legendary giant Juventus, officially began.

This game also attracted a large number of European fans to watch the game.

Not to mention how much the economy around the stadium has been boosted, the economy of the entire Southampton, and even the entire south of England, has been boosted by this football game.

Everyone wants to witness with their own eyes the showdown between Gu Ran and Buffon, Pirlo, Del Piero, and Iaquinta.

At the beginning of the game, Southampton attacked and pressed Juventus unceremoniously.

The old lady Juventus was steady, using the classic chain defense to carry out high pressure and physical confrontation against Southampton.

The players of the two teams were in close combat, and the Southampton team could not take any advantage in terms of physical fitness and physical confrontation.

Compared with Southampton's rough defense, Juventus's defense is more organized, more delicate, and emphasizes integrity and technology.

In the 11th minute of the game, Pirlo controlled the ball in the backcourt and suddenly made a long diagonal pass without warning, accurately passing the ball to Iaquinta in the open area in the frontcourt!

Juventus' formation immediately responded with forward pressure and protection!
After Iaquinta accurately stopped the ball, he didn't delay at all. He went straight forward and then followed up with a powerful volley——

The football flew high over the crossbar and toward the stands.

Juventus fans who came from afar suddenly lamented.

The Southampton fans held their hearts and breathed a sigh of relief.

This kick is really scary.

Pirlo is like a nerve knife, suddenly giving a fatal pass. If Iaquinta's condition was not hot enough, this cold shot would have already scored.

A ball like Pirlo's is really difficult to guard against.

Pirlo is almost walking on the court, even if he advances with the ball, it is slow. It seems that any player sent to mark him can guard Pirlo. But the problem is that Pirlo's ability to control and protect the ball is definitely the best in the world. If only one player is sent to intercept Pirlo's ball, he will definitely be played by Pirlo until his mentality collapses.

Sending someone to keep an eye on Pirlo, who barely moves, is simply a waste of a player.

But if someone is not sent to keep an eye on Pirlo, Pirlo will burst out with a fatal cold arrow at any time.

This situation also gives Southampton a headache.

To be on the safe side, Mikel is specifically responsible for marking Pirlo.

Pirlo's range of activities is only in his own back half, which forces Mikel to move forward.

In this way, a huge open space appears behind Mikel.

The game continues.

In the 18th minute, Southampton's pass in the middle was destroyed by Chiellini.

After Marchisio picked up the ball, he immediately passed the ball to the open area in front of Pirlo. Pirlo started instantly and got rid of Mikel's personal marking. Before Mikel could catch up, he passed the ball to Pirlo. Hierro area!

Juventus's style of play is very simple and clear!
Piero rushed into Piero's area first under Van Dyke's pursuit and interception!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Gu Ran retreated in time and teamed up with Van Dyke to double-team Del Piero.

Del Piero was double-teamed by the two and forced a move!
The football was like a supercharged cannonball, hitting Southampton's upper right corner!

Goalkeeper Davis jumped up high and touched the football with his fingers as hard as he could -

The football changed line and popped off the crossbar.

Thanks to the triple efforts of Gu Ran, Van Dijk and Davis, Del Piero's goal finally failed to score.

However, Juventus still got a corner kick.

Pirlo slowly ran to the corner penalty spot, glanced at his position in the penalty area, and then took a curve kick.

The curve ball bypasses the front and middle points and goes straight to Chiellini's position at the back point!
Chiellini took off perfectly and headed the ball into the goal!
Southampton's defensive players had no time to react!
The ball went in!
In the 20th minute of the first half, Juventus took advantage of Del Piero's corner kick, and Pirlo kicked the ball. Chiellini clicked behind and scored the ball!

The score on the big screen at St. Mary's Stadium was immediately rewritten as Southampton 0:1 Juventus.

Southampton got off to a bad start.

But such a score will not make Saints fans anxious.

After all, Juventus has so many legendary stars, so even if they really beat Southampton, it would not be a surprise. What's more, the game has just begun, and Southampton, with Gu Ran, has never been afraid of headwinds.

The game continues.

Juventus continued to use chain defense and high pressure to fight Southampton.

There was a lot of physical contact between players from both sides.

In the 28th minute of the game, Elia made a mistake in returning Vidal. Salah, a part-time defender, saw the opportunity and dashed to intercept the ball!
